IOD Decor Paint Inlay Indigo Floral by Iron Orchid Designs

Description

12″ x 16″

IOD Décor Paint Indigo Floral is our interpretation of a charming wallpaper design from the early 1900’s. Brimming with cottage charm and perfectly scaled for adorning the insides of a hutch, or vining up a demure high boy, you are going to adore Indigo Floral.
Paint Inlays created by Iron Orchid Designs are the artisanal answer to décor transfers. They are not a decal; they are not a synthetic film; they are not decoupage. When you apply an IOD Paint Inlay, artisanal paint is embedded into your surface and the paper is removed, leaving an authentic painted design and a buttery, almost leather-like surface on your piece.
IOD Paint Inlays are made from a proprietary artist-quality paint which we formulated specifically for decorative use. They are organic in nature and the transfer of the painted design will be slightly varied and unique for each individual. The results are visually interesting, texturally complex, and often inherently distressed. The paint formula is ‘active’ until sealed. That means that you can manipulate it and apply special techniques or a custom touch before you seal your piece. And, as if once isn’t enough, you can often get a beautifully faded second impression, with the residual pigment on your ‘leftover’ Paint Inlay sheets. Depending on the techniques and colors you are using with your Paint Inlay, sometimes you can even get a third impression!
IMPORTANT NOTE: For best results with basic application, use a chalk type paint that does not contain polymers. ( Polymer-based paints and topcoats can also be used, but the timing and results may vary, so check our or tutorials for that and more special technique videos.)
